Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[Charles Hawtrey]

Jose is just not an everton manager sorry....

Going on what esk said about it, if PSG and united looked elsewhere then yes, he would come here if we offered him a job.

Until he (or we) have a new manager/job in place then hang your hope on it happening, stranger things have happened haha

Defo - I think the UTD job is his preferred but all the noises are they are sticking rather then twisting. I have serious doubts about him wanting the PSG job considering he basically trashed the league recently. They can offer him the money, and the opportunity to win another champions league near enough straight away.

I just think we would make a very interesting prospect for him, without the "win the league and champions league NOW" pressure, where he could build something.

I am hanging my hopes, i know - but i think we aren't that far out the running, just depends on the other jobs.

Edit: the post I was replying to disappeared, but it was clearly about Jose and the United interest. Sorry!

Someone posted a while back of the separations in the Man Utd camp - Woodward wanting LVG, stubborn to remove him because of that; SAF being generally confused about the whole thing but wanting Jose in at this point... Not gonna be able to find it in 1600+ pages of things obviously, but it shed some light at least.

And I still think Jose will want a challenge and to stay in England. He loves it here - the media loves him, he knows how to play the managers and the fans, and every game is potentially a big game. Think he relishes that, as in Spain it was just when they played Atletico, Barca or (depending on the situation) a cup tie when he had the reason to even attempt mind games and stuff like that, whereas here it's pretty much week in - week out, as everyone's got a point to prove.

Also I've already admitted in several threads I'm a big fan of his style of (anti) football, and it wins things, soooo...

Ash Vegas posse in the house!

Not any more mate, live in Cheltenham now and saw them lift the Vanarama title on Saturday! Had a little daydream while I was there that it was Everton lifting the Premiership title.

I find it funny that, for all of Roberto's positive outlook on life, he has created the worst negativity I've witnessed in Evertonians for a long time.....

...it's the YING to his bad YANG.

Ha, good analogy, but that's the thing. The whole point of ying-yang is that it's 50/50, you know, balance and that. The fact he's only one of them makes him unlikeable, and he seems to stick to his guns.

Think Moyes is favourite for that at the moment.

I wander what the players think of him!!

 

[Peter The Dog]

And he would be crazy to turn it down. Two seasons there and he'll be right back in the mix for a top Prem job.

If I were to hazard a guess then I would think the players may see Martinez as a character similar to
`David Brent in the office`

Not for a couple of years, but one of my daughters goes back regularly to see her mates. Spends time in the Commercial and Tom & Gerrys!
